Yes, our online curriculum satisfies college and university admissions requirements. University Prep also offers required labs for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Spanish Voice Labs are offered through video conferencing. Additionally, most community college courses also count as Honors classes, making dual enrollment another option our students have to maximize their GPA potential.
University Prep students complete classes, classwork, and exams online with their teacher’s support. Students meet with teachers in small student group meetings that are conducted virtually.
Students complete their coursework in our online program with the support of their advisory teacher and content teachers. Students complete personalized projects using technology to achieve success in a standards-based curriculum. Core classes are supported by a credentialed teacher who is available to students through virtual classes, email, chat, tutoring sessions, and office hours. The goal of University Prep is to prepare students to meet college admission requirements. All students will be enrolled in classes that meet these requirements.
Learning Assessments provide students with a clear view of where they stand academically and determine what they’re ready to learn next to build their individualized learning plan. Students in grades nine through eleven will participate in the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) MAP reading and mathematics assessments. Learning Assessments will be referenced in the student’s Master Agreement and will be administered to all Visions students.

This will depend on the student’s unique circumstance and individualized education plan developed with the student’s counselor. Students must receive approval from their Principal to ensure early graduation.
We support students with special needs through a variety of programs, including our Special Education Services.
Special Education: As a public school, Visions In Education provides special education and related services through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to students who qualify. The service delivery model at Visions varies from that typically provided at a traditional school campus with a focus on individualized supports uniquely designed to enable eligible students to make progress within our home school and independent study programming.
In the Independent Study and University Prep Early College academies, students attend general education classes with the support of special education teachers and service providers. Each student’s IEP team will carefully craft an IEP that supports them in this unique setting with careful consideration of accommodations necessary to access instruction. Our special education case managers work closely with their general education counterparts to provide the appropriate support and guidance individualized for the student.
In our home school model, parent partners and students alike are provided with support from both general education and special education teachers. While parent partners provide daily instruction through a homeschooling model, the student’s credentialed teacher and special education team will always work with families to make progress toward student goals.
We look forward to working together as a team to create an IEP that is reasonably calculated to provide educational benefit to our students. For more information please contact our Enrollment Team.
